NCCA-Artsplace Exhibit: Lee Ann Frame – Nature Beckons

Lee Ann Frame – Nature Beckons
March 25 – April 30
This intaglio printmaking exhibit by Lee Ann Frame reflects the beauty of the west Michigan landscape. “Landscape is a recurring theme in my prints. There are days when the lure of nature beckons me out of the studio. I prefer drawing on site and other times photographing. Through renderings the image gradually evolves capturing a fleeting moment. Back in the studio compositional drawings are worked out keeping in mind that the image will print in reverse, a mirror image. Printmaking has proven to be a very satisfying way for me to explore the complexities of the natural world. I am inspired by the physicality of printmaking; creating rich layers and surface textures through the processes. My intention is to focus and immerse into my surroundings whilst implementing my printmaking skills. It is my hope that my work will evolve–like life; finding place and sense of direction,” states Frame.

Born near the shores of Lake Michigan, Lee Ann currently teaches at Muskegon Community College and owns Norris Creek Printmaking Studio. She earned a MFA in printmaking. Lee Ann leads workshops in various printmaking processes.
